Jim Curtis talks Jennifer Aniston by putting a timeline on it: he said on Aug. 31 that he and Jennifer Aniston have been together for a year and a half and are still in the “honeymoon phase.” That puts a firmer public clock on a relationship that had already moved from summer photos into Aniston’s inner circle.
“It's going really well,” Curtis said on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, adding that they use “I'm sorry. I'm listening. Thank you. I love you” when disagreements come up. He also said, “We do a lot of meditation. We do a lot of talk,” which is the kind of conflict language that sounds simple until you compare it with how many celebrity relationships never get that far in public.
Aug. 31 and the new timeline
Aug. 31 is the date that matters here because Curtis did more than acknowledge the relationship. He said the two have been together for a year and a half, which reaches back farther than the summer 2025 photos that first made the romance public. In January, he had said mutual friends introduced them and that “It took a long time” for them to become close, then estimated they had been together for months and were approaching a year.
May reports later said they had recently celebrated a one-year anniversary. Curtis’s new timeline pushes that estimate further back, and that matters because relationship chronology is part of the public record once a couple is visible enough to become a story. For readers tracking where the relationship stands, the newest number is the cleanest one: a year and a half, not a year.
Jamie Kern Lima Show details
The Jamie Kern Lima Show appearance also gave a rare look at how the pair manage friction. Curtis said they start with the four-part prayer “I'm sorry. I'm listening. Thank you. I love you,” then move to meditation, talking, acceptance and understanding before reaching for anything more formal. That sequence is the operational detail: first reset, then conversation, then whatever deeper structure the moment requires.
Curtis described Aniston as grounded, open, caring and kind, and said he feels “incredibly blessed” to have been welcomed into the close group of friends she considers family. He called that circle a “beautiful community,” a description that fits the way her social posts have increasingly placed him alongside Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka, Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup.
Sept. 2 at 92nd Street Y
The Sept. 2 event at 92nd Street Y gives the story a next move. Aniston is scheduled to interview Curtis for an event centered on The Book of Possibility, and the program is also set to include a guided meditation led by Curtis. That setup turns the relationship story into a live public appearance built around his work, not just his personal life.
For now, the clearest takeaway is that Curtis has moved the relationship timeline forward while also showing how the couple says it functions day to day. The open question is the one his comments avoid: what exact date did Curtis and Aniston stop being friends and start dating?
